Q & A

Recently I had the chance to play my favorite game with my favorite person of all time (yihee..!). It’s called “Q & A” which obviously stands for Question and Answer. The game is pretty simple; I’ll ask a question and he’ll answer, he’ll ask a question and I’ll answer. The question could be of any subject and there is no right or wrong answer. For the next first three hours of All Souls’ Day (yeah, from 12 midnight to 3am of November 2), I was asking and answering the strangest, out-of-this-world questions. Let me share some of what I can recall…

My Question (MQ): If you would die today and I’m the only person with you, what would be your last words?

His Answer (HA): Tell my mother I’m sorry for making her worry most of the time. Wherever I am, here or in the next life, I’ll remain to be her humble son.
(I was hoping he’d leave a message for me but he went beyond my expectations. I think his answer was better.)

His Question (HQ): If you had only Php1.00 load, you would text who…and why?

My Answer (MA): Hi, girl. Musta ka na? Miss na miss na kita. Tagal na nating di nakakapagkuwentuhan. Kelangan bumawi ka sa pasukan. – I’ll text Joyce.
(The truth was, if ever I had only Php1.00 load that night and it would be expiring by the end of the day, he’s the one I’m going to text. Only I wouldn’t let him know that.)

MQ: Given a chance to change your first name, what name would you want?

HA: Winry.
(I forgot his exact explanation but yep, the name was from a computer game.)

HQ: You, what name would you give me?

MA: Wade. Ü

HQ: Why?

MA: If I’m not mistaken Jason Wade is the name of Lifehouse’s vocalist. And Jason is so common.

HQ: If you were a cell phone, what unit would you be and why?

MA: 32 10, coz it’s super tough.

MQ: And you?

HA: 11 10i. Simple but has a lot of useful features.

MQ: What do you think was the most memorable and most special thing I did for you?

HA: You went to see me and talk to me even if it meant the train would be leaving you.

Me: Haha… I let two trips passed by and I had to catch the last trip instead. Memorable indeed.
(And if you ask me, it was really memorable because we also had ice cream then.)

MQ: If you would ask me something right now, what would it be?
(Couldn’t think of anything…)

HA (& HQ): The biggest mistake I ever made was when… Complete the sentence.

MA: When I fell in love with a friend. Biggest mistake, biggest regret.

HA: When I let go of the love of my life to the man I thought loved her. I never slept the same every night.
(No comment…)

MQ: You would go to another planet and you’re allowed to bring only three things with you. What would you bring?

HA: An mp3 player, laptop, and a bag full of foods.
(Tsk, tsk…)

Me: May food talaga…

Him: Justified naman eh…

HQ: If you were to be invisible for 24 hours, where would you go and what would you do?

MA: Batangas. I’ll look for someone and when I find him, I’ll just stay beside him for as long as I’m invisible.
(Oh, how I wish…)

MQ: What would make you smile right now?

HA: A whole box of chocolates.

Me: Mukha ka talagang pagkain…

HQ: What would make you smile?

MA: A text from the person I really miss would make me smile.

HQ: Your last words before you die would be…

MA: Excited na ‘ko. Baka hindi boring dun sa pupuntahan ko. Gusto mong sumama? The more, the merrier. Haha…

MQ: How would you want to die?

HA: Gunshot. I will die beside the person I love and tell her all the things I can’t say.

Me: Soap opera.

Him: Nope. Movie. Cool, ‘di ba?

Me: What’s cool with that? It’s violent. You can just die because you got tired of breathing.

Him: I don’t wanna die without doing anything. People won’t talk about me at my wake.

Me: You’ll be talked about. They’d be amazed and say, “Puwede palang katamaran ang paghinga!”

Him: Haha… I guess so.

HQ: What song would you want to be played 24/7 after you die (sa burol at libing)?

MA: How to Save a Life. Nice, ‘di ba?

Him: Save a life? Eh dead ka na nga. Ironic…

Me: That’s it. They might even try to wake me from the dead. Haha…

MQ: If one of us dies tomorrow, how do you think would the other react?
(Our answers to this question were totally crazy, and I don’t think I can restate those.)


I might have forgotten a few questions but I think I had recalled most of them. It was one hell of a night, no, morning. We were in line with the spirit of All Souls’ Day and we actually didn’t realize this until the last question.
If you’re looking for fun and want to learn about someone at the same time, here’s the game for you. Just find that someone you’d want to play the game with and be armed with the wittiest and most bizarre questions. You’re sure to have a fun in no time. Enjoy! Ü

P.S.
If you really want the best out of the experience, answer in all HONESTY.
